In 1935 the Herald was selected as one of the 11 most outstanding weekly newspapers in the United States.<ref name=":2" /> |
|||
On the 50th anniversary of the publication they put out a 'Golden Jubilee Edition'. The ''Sanger Herald'' staff took it upon themselves to research the history of their town's name; it had been rumored that a member of the original town survey party was named Sanger and the town adopted the name upon establishment in 1887. They consulted the Post Office Department in Washington and contacted Alice B. Sanger, daughter of Joseph Sanger Jr. and found out that Sanger was named after Joseph by a group of railroad officials. Joseph Sanger Jr.'s portrait was featured in the Golden Jubilee Edition, marking the first time the citizens of Sanger saw the man their town was named for.<ref name=":1" /> |
